When was the last time a team had 4 away games scheduled in a row? Example 1


Oh sorry, please continue.

Don't let me get in the way of you continuing to make yourself look like an imbecile.

hi mop
i dont get what your big problem with this is... dont you still play the same amount of games home and away as every one else? you will just have more home games than most in the run to the finals which i think would be an advantage...

hey v.
I think what mop up is trying to saying, is that, to have a sustainable club where there are expenses each and every week, you need income coming into the club.
By having 4 games away in a row, the club would rely on mid week dinners for example to keep the money coming in.
While having 4 home games in a row at the end of the season is fantastic it doesnt help when the bills need to be paid a month or two ago.

Look it's not a huge problem, as you said same games in the end but it's just an odd occurance which doesn't usualy happen. It does put a small strain on the finances especially when your still copping bills from the HFL every month, etc but I guess it's more the supporters following the team around, Parents lugging their kids all over the place, and just a general nuisance, not to mention a tough way to start the season.

I'm not gonna go on about it but if you were involved in the club you would understand some of the raw deals.

Before we get sidetracked from the issue at hand, I would agree the only way the constitution could be changed would be via the vote and you would hope clubs have more sense than others. Hopefully the days of byes, long-weekends interrupting the season are behind us.

No doubt there will be an article in this week's Final Siren exaplining all the ongoings, look forward to this with interest.

And apologies DA, what a horrible fool I've made of myself. I should know better than to challenge what you say, I could only come off looking like an imbecile.

On a more astonishing and important topic, head over to the country thread. The penalties have been laid in the shocking incidents from last weekend.....

Have heard out of the Onkas camp that 3 B&F winners and 1 B&F runner-up who have play just 3 games this year between the 4 of them may all be up and running in the midfield within the next couple of weeks. Could mean that Onkas may be a big mover come the second half of the season.

Now the HFL have realised that won't be the case they are looking at bending the rules to suit. Watch this space !!!


Doesn't surprise me in the slightest

Very used to being treated like a second rate club by the league.... when you get more involved with the club it's crazy the amount of hoops a club like us has to jump through!

As for the actual rumour, would make the HFL look like an absolute joke if halfway through the year they decide to change the constitution, the very rules the league is built on.

Dont get me wrong, I for one don't want to see Loby or Birdwood go down, enjoy Div 1 how it is but to make this move now would make the league look silly....


You actually think the league singles Ironbank out and makes life more difficult for you lot than everyone else?

Give me a break.


The Great One has spoken everyone, now if we could all be quiet because we know that DA is ALWAYS 100% on the money with all HFL matters even though he confesses to be not making up to many games or be as close to it anymore. No-one else have an opinion please!

Ironbank posters stop complaining because others on the forum can't seem to differentiate between indivduals' views and the club's position. If the club has a problem it would voice it in the appropriate place, not on a footy forum.

Well im interested to here what you have to say here daddy, althought tears from the Ironbank sun are amazing lets move on. Who are these said players? I know onkas have always seemed to have a great 2-3 players every year but struggled in deapth (as we are currently seeing with their current outs). Im guessing Klun and S.Tanner as they have been out and are both top players but i cant see who the other 2 players are. Would you care to shed some light on this information? Onkas had a amazing midfielder a few years back, i believe it was Cotton or something like that. Hope its not him he was a barral of tallent. Id have to say my only other guess would be Nick Smart, he was a former onkas tallent as well. All and all, having played Onkas recently i think they will need to pull something out of the hat!

Fair call, it is just a personal opinion, like everything on here.

But surely you have to take everything on here with a grain of salt, I just loving stirring DA, been too long since he's been on. Think he enjoys stirring us too, and he gets me hook line and sinker sometimes!!

Moving on....

I'm guessing Paul Tanner is one? I know he lined up against us in the B's in Round 1 or has he been back for a while now?

Yep thats who i was thinking of Contin and he is ex braodview. Came to Onkas with the mastermind Allan Stringer if i remember correctly (just another remarkable move by onkas (appointing a stringer)).
I Think Paul "Dingo" Tanner has played most of the year as he took the captiancy off the little brother this year.
Klun and S.Tanner didn't play against us, i assumed injury. Contin would be a huge in

Fair enough. Cotchin might enjoy his footy a bit more at Onkas though, few more wins out that way. You guys do well with draft picks. Anyway, picks...with a bit of rain on the way:
Blackwood v Onkas - even with the recent topic re Onkas B&F winners, Blackwood at home by 6 goals.
Hahndorf v Bridgewater - the 'Pies to bounce back and win by 7 goals. They weren't too bad last week.
Ironbank v Lobey - I/B to get some % back. Thunderers by 10 goals.
Mt Barker v Birdwood - jeez. Mt Barker by a lot, 13 goals. Only sludge at Mt Ronnie could rein in that margin.
Uraidla v Lofty - Match of the round. The heart says the Devs, and if they move it quickly enough, they're a chance but I reckon their firepower in front of goals isn't gonna match uris. cabbage by 6 goals. Hard to topple at home.

tips for this week
blackwood vs onkaparinga - blackwood by 5 goals
hahndorf vs bridgewater - RAIDERS by 4 goals in an inspired performance
ironbank vs lobethal - thunderers by 10 goals
mount barker vs birdwood - barker by plenty
uraidla vs mount lofty - cabbage by 5 goals

also not sure if safooty is ready for this... but i have tried all other avenues to voice my opinions and this seems like the only way... countless unanswered or published letters to the final siren and courier dating back nearly 15 years have left me very disheartened... this is my last option to get Vaughans View to the people...


Vaughans View
Hot Topics of the HFL


TV “Punching” out of their weight Division

With the undefeated Torrens Valley crushing all before them in an 8-0 start to the season, their path to Central Division ranks looked a formality… Until an alleged incident following a heated senior colts battle has left a bitter taste in the mouth of soon to be Central rivals.
Witnesses suggest an on field incident resurfaced well after the game, with punches flying and parents getting involved.
In my day, what happened out on the field of battle was done and dusted at the final bell, put to bed with a handshake, but now it seems the hot-headed actions from a gang of hooligan senior colts has given Mr. Hughes and the boffins down at the Valley one big unwanted headache.
The fallout from this incident appears far from over with some people not at all happy with the lenient punishment handed out, but one thing is for certain, this kind of thuggery and bullyboy tactics just won’t wash in the Central Division competition.
Vaughans View: De-register the culprit and have his name forever stricken from the HFL records.

Men in White should be out of Sight


I have huge respect for those who officiate in HFL football matches. It’s a thankless job and without them the spectacle that is Hills footy simply wouldn’t exist. I’ve seen more games in this competition than most, and in my opinion, the field, boundary and goal umpires usually do a sterling job.
With this being said, I must admit that nothing infuriates me more than an over umpired game of football. It irritates all involved.
I have already seen a few fantastic matches this year where the umpires have put the whistle away and just let the play go. It provides plenty of one of one contests, and free flowing football, something that pleases both players and supporters alike. So umpires, forget the tiggy-touchwood little free kicks, and trivial 25 metres penalties, and just pay the decisions that are clear cut and obvious. You are not bigger than the game.
Vaughans View: Umpires put a cork in it! The fewer free kicks the better… forget hands in the back, chopping the arms and ruck infringements, and just let the lads get after the footy.

Relegation Situation


I’m sure the powers that be at each club have a firm grip on what is going on with this much debated relegation situation. However, as a supporter, I’m still not confident with exactly what is going on, and having spoken to some players I know they feel the same.
I have seen the points system that is in place, with weighting towards victory in each grade, but what’s stopping a side like Lobethal or Birdwood stacking their B Grade and getting the required points to escape relegation that way?
Also with the importance being placed on Senior Colts victory’s, surely this is stunting the development of upcoming young players, with clubs more worried about winning at under 17 level than giving their young guns a crack in the A Grade? All food for thought, but with more spanners being thrown in the works, and threats of legal action this week, its time for the HFL to come out and let the Hills community know in black and white, because like it or not they have been doing more backflips than Greg Louganis.
Vaughan’s View: Scrap relegation and have an 11 team Central Division Comp in 2011.

Stay in the Closet
Don’t get me wrong, I use to love feeling up the odd arse or two in showers during my playing days, but I have to agree with that big mouthed redhead from Whitten Oval and say that the HFL is not ready for a big coming out parade. I’m sure that there are blokes getting around in the HFL that are inclined to “rush the odd behind” but I have to agree with Aker and suggest that this would tear at the fabric of the competition.
Vaughan’s View: Stay so deep in the closet you are in Narnia.

Thanks
V.

Bloody hell, V. So you're not a spanner ALL the time! I must admit, some of that (some) is on the money and pretty well put.
I agree with your punishment for the violence and the umpires putting the whistle away. it's not that long ago that I had to rely on the odd 'taking of a FF's arms' and it was play on! And the point re the relegation situation is a very valid one, this should be cleared up by the powers that be. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Final Siren hasn't yet put this in black & white?
